John Oliver to Perform at Kennedy Center

Tickets go on sale Thursday and Friday

British comedian John Oliver, the host of HBO's "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver," is set to perform three stand-up shows at the Kennedy Center in late August, and tickets go on sale later this week.

Oliver will be performing Aug. 25-27 at 7 p.m. in the Concert Hall. Tickets for the 75-minute show range from $59 to $79 and go on sale to Kennedy Center members Thursday and to the public Friday at 10 a.m.

From 2006 to 2013, Oliver served as a correspondent and guest host for "The Daily Show With John Stewart." Oliver's HBO show, which launched in 2014, presents a satirical look at the week in news, politics and current events.

His stand-up show is part of the Kennedy Center's star-filled comedy lineup, which will feature comedians including Tracy Morgan of "Saturday Night Live" and "30 Rock" and YouTube sensation Miranda Sings this season.
